Re: Sheep Keds/Ticks/Julie Banks
Posted by: dabanks <dabanks@...>
never heard of them and that her sheep didn't have them! Here is the
answer...no, they don't go on humans at all, they are "host
specific"..sometimes going on goats too but thank the good Lord they didn't
bother my goats. Also, NO the wool is not worth it according to the man who
sheared our sheep. Please please have this friend of yours call K. W. and
tell her.. She did not believe me about the keds. She needs to know. The
sheep I got from her were so blood starved from the keds. Very enemic and
sick. She needs to medicate them. Love, Julie
